The Great Commission

Joy was spreading swiftly to all those who followed Jesus
He had risen from the dead, indeed just as he had foretold
And he appeared to his disciples and to all who knew and loved him
And he told about the Kingdom of our God.

Jesus said, “Thomas, my brother Thomas,
Oh tell me why do you are so troubled?
I am no ghost, come now and touch me and you will see.
See here my hands, see here my feet, see here this broiled fish I eat.
Come now and learn of all the things that I command.”

Chorus:

He said…”Go and make disciples of all Nations
Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Teach them about all I have commanded
For surely I am with you
Always and forever
Even to the end of the Age”.

Now when the Lord had finished speaking
To those gathered in his presence
Up into Heaven He ascended
And took his place at our Father’s Right Hand.
His Great Commission is to all Believers
Until he comes again in Glory
We must go forth and spread good news to every land.

Chorus

For he said…”Go and make disciples of all Nations
Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Teach them about all I have commanded
For surely I am with you
Always and forever
Even to the end of the Age”.
Go and tell the World all that’s been done for them,
Go and tell them all, my name is Jesus!
